The Kansas City Star suggests C.J. Spiller has a chance to win the Chiefs' No. 3 running back job.

Asked if he's lost a step, 30-year-old Spiller replied, "No, but that's for everybody else to decide." Spencer Ware is the lead back and third-round pick Kareem Hunt's job is safe, so Spiller would have to upend Charcandrick West to win one of the top-three running back jobs. West has nursed an ankle injury in recent practices, so Spiller has been running with Kansas City's third-team offense. Aug 7 - 5:14 PM

The way Spiller tells it, he's never been right physically since he left the Bills after the 2014 season. That was certainly borne out by his usage with the Saints, Seahawks and Jets. Going on 30, the formerly-dynamic talent is most realistically competing with Charcandrick West for No. 3 duties in Kansas City. May 23 - 7:15 PM

Chiefs GM John Dorsey said C.J. Spiller's "speed and twitch" are back.

Spiller's career has gone off the rails since leaving Buffalo but Dorsey has been impressed by what he's seen from him this offseason. If the 29-year-old makes it out of training camp, he'll fill a change-of-pace role behind Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West. There's no fantasy appeal here. Apr 21 - 2:12 PM

Spiller has name recognition, but he hasn't been a factor on the field for years. He was a massive free-agent flop in New Orleans in 2015 and bounced around between the Saints, Jets, and Seahawks last season before eventually being released in December. Spiller will turn 30 before the season. He'll try to carve out a pass-catching role in K.C., but we won't hold our breath. Feb 24 - 10:11 AM

The way Spiller tells it, he's never been right physically since he left the Bills after the 2014 season. That was certainly borne out by his usage with the Saints, Seahawks and Jets.

Spiller's career has gone off the rails since leaving Buffalo but Dorsey has been impressed by what he's seen from him this offseason. If the 29-year-old makes it out of training camp, he'll fill a change-of-pace role behind Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West. There's no fantasy appeal here.

Spiller has name recognition, but he hasn't been a factor on the field for years. He was a massive free-agent flop in New Orleans in 2015 and bounced around between the Saints, Jets, and Seahawks last season before eventually being released in December. Spiller will turn 30 before the season. He'll try to carve out a pass-catching role in K.C., but we won't hold our breath.

Spiller was briefly on the field for last night's humiliation, but ended up playing only 32 snaps in a little more than a month as a Jet. Now 29, the 2010 first-rounder has been released by three teams this season. His NFL future is looking bleak. It's a shame for a formerly-dynamic playmaker who could never quite get over the hump.

Jets coach Todd Bowles said it is "too early to tell" if C.J. Spiller will be active this week.

Spiller was just added on Tuesday, but he should be able to pick up the scheme quickly after playing for OC Chan Gailey in Buffalo. Even if he is active, Spiller will just be a special teamer. Bowles made it clear Matt Forte and Bilal Powell are still the Jets' top two backs.

Rather absurdly, the Jets are waiving Knile Davis to clear space after he was on the roster for a few hours Tuesday afternoon. Spiller was cut by the Seahawks six days ago. Bilal Powell didn't appear to aggravate his toe injury in Week 8, so the reason for Spiller's addition seems to be little more than adding depth. Spiller is reuniting with his former Bills coach Chan Gailey.

Spiller probably saw the writing on the wall Sunday night when he was a healthy scratch against Arizona. With passing-down back C.J. Prosise finally ready to contribute after missing time with a broken hand, the Seahawks deemed that Spiller was no longer necessary. Spiller produced just 51 yards and a touchdown on eight touches during his month-long stay in Seattle. The 29-year-old will try to land a backup gig somewhere else.

Spiller lost three yards on his lone carry. Spiller nearly scored a 26-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but got taken down at the two. Spiller has looked fine as a Seahawk, but hasn't done enough to bury a rehabbing C.J. Prosise (hand). He's not much of a PPR asset.

C.J. Spiller rushed two times for 12 yards and caught 2-of-3 targets for five yards and one touchdown in the Seahawks' Week 4 win over the Jets.

Spiller was signed earlier in the week but was immediately active over C.J. Prosise as the No. 2 back. Spiller didn't do a whole lot, but did play a series in the red zone in the first half and caught an eight-yard touchdown to get the scoring started for the Seahawks. Spiller isn't yet worth adding in 12-team leagues.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll declined to say if C.J. Spiller will be active this week.

Spiller was just signed on Wednesday. He’s still learning the offense, and doesn’t project for more than a limited role if he plays. C.J. Prosise (hand) practiced fully all week and is listed as questionable.

Spiller visited with the Jets and Packers before signing. He was a healthy scratch for the Saints in Week 1, and spent the last two weeks out of football. Spiller hasn't been productive since 2013, but lands in a great situation in Seattle. He will be in the mix for a passing-game role behind Christine Michael with Thomas Rawls (fibula) and C.J. Prosise (hand) sidelined.

Spiller played for OC Chan Gailey in Buffalo and had the best season of his career in Gailey's final year as the Bills' head coach in 2012. Spiller amassed 1,703 total yards and eight touchdowns in Gailey's spread scheme that season. In New York, he'd be insurance behind Matt Forte and Bilal Powell.

The Packers' rushing attack is off to a slow start, but Spiller wouldn't help with that. Eddie Lacy and James Starks have combined for only five passing-game targets. Spiller would help with that. Of course, Spiller didn't help with anything during his brief time in New Orleans.

"I think it'll be a race for him to be ready to go (at camp). I'm not counting on it," said Reid. The Chiefs plan to take Ehinger's return slowly after he tore his ACL last Week 8. The rookie had a positive impact in year one, with Spencer Ware averaging 5.3 yards per carry in games in which Ehinger was active as opposed to 3.8 YPC in games with him on the sidelines.

Cairo Santos was held out of the Chiefs' preseason opener due to a groin injury.

That's what prompted the Chiefs to sign former Penn State kicker Sam Ficken, who converted a 45-yarder in Friday night's loss to San Francisco. Coach Andy Reid remains confident that Santos will be ready for the start of the regular season.
